His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 236

　　A few minutes later, Sara returned.

　　As soon as she entered the office, she sat down in front of the desk with a dazed look.

　　Alanna was one step ahead of Annette and asked, "Sara, what did Darren say?"

　　Sara smiled helplessly at them and said, "Darren said that I had a bad influence in school, and he won't tolerate someone like me continuing to teach here. He asked me to resign."

　　Alanna slammed the table and cursed angrily, "He doesn't even know what happened. Why should you resign?"

　　Sara sighed, "I guess I'll just have to accept it."

　　Annette stood up and grabbed Sara's hand. "No. Why should you? Come on. Let's go talk to Darren."

　　Sara said, "No, please. I don't want to drag you into this."

　　"Fine. Tell me, did you do anything wrong?"

　　"No. I don't think so."

　　"If that's the case, then you should reason with him. Come with me. I can't let him do this to you."

　　Annette pulled Sara and came to the doorway of Darren's office.

　　After knocking on the door, they heard Darren's voice come through. "Come in."

　　Annette pulled Sara into the office.

　　When Darren saw the two women show up together and the look on Annette's face, he could guess what was going on.

　　He smiled, "Annette, I don't think I've called you over. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

　　Annette pulled Sara's hand, walked over, and stopped in front of his desk.

　　"Mr. Crace, I heard that you want Sara to resign. May I know the reason why? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then it's an abuse of power. If you set this example, I might do the same one day."

　　Darren knew that she was threatening him. Although he was angry, he had to dial it down.

　　He forced a smile and said, "Annette, it has nothing to do with you. I didn't need to explain it, but since you asked, I'll tell you. Sara's actions have reflected poorly on the school's image, and I have to do something about it. You know, for the sake of the university's reputation."

　　"Really? Have you gone through the details of what really happened before making that decision? I know Jennifer's ex-boyfriend and I know the whole story more than anyone else. Sara was wrongly accused. If you fire her now, you are telling everyone that what Jennifer claims is true. And that's not fair to Sara."

　　Annette's eyes were full of stubbornness and fortitude.

　　Darren was not afraid of Sara and Annette, but he would never dare to mess with Connor.

　　Connor gave him this job, and his daughter's too.

　　After brief thinking, Darren turned to Sara.

　　"Annette is right. I haven't investigated the matter yet, so it's too early to draw a conclusion. Forget about the resignation letter for now. However, you must resolve the problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one can save your job. There are certain issues the university will not tolerate. Do you understand me?"

　　"Yes, I do. Thank you, Mr. Crace."

　　Annette nodded to Darren before leaving with Sara.

　　Downstairs, Sara breathed a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at Annette, and said, "Thanks for saving my job. I would have been fired."

　　Annette smiled, "There is no need to thank me. Besides, I'm taking advantage of Connor's power. Sara, I think the focus now is not on the school, but on Jennifer causing trouble at the entrance."

　　Sara took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, lost in thought.

　　After a moment, she said to Annette, "I think I should meet with Mr. Joseph."

　　Annette was a little surprised. "Now?"

　　Sara nodded and said, "Jennifer can only cause trouble at school for another eleven days because winter vacation is coming. I must take the chance to stop her during the vacation. Otherwise, she will be back again when school starts next year."

　　"But if she knows you'll meet Zachary now, she will go crazier."

　　Sara looked at Annette and said firmly, "I want her to know that she'd better not mess with me. She can make a scene all she wants, and I'm not afraid."

　　Annette found Sara's words made sense.

　　"Then I'll go with you."

　　"It's OK. I should go alone."

　　"But..." Annette was worried that Sara would put herself in danger.

　　"I'll be fine. I will talk to Mr. Joseph with my utmost sincerity."

　　Annette nodded. "Just keep in mind that I'm with you on this."

　　Sara returned to the office and left immediately after grabbing her bag.

　　Annette called Connor and told him how she threatened Darren.

　　Connor couldn't stop laughing.

　　He said, "Well done. I wouldn't let anyone else use my power like that, but to you, I'm more than pleased. You really should do that more often."

　　Was it love talk?

　　Annette thought it was.

　　Sara arrived at the entrance of Kamil Mall, then she dialed Zachary's number.

　　Zachary went downstairs and saw her at the entrance.

　　"Sara, why are you here?"

　　Sara smiled and asked, "Mr. Joseph, there's something I need to talk to you about. Do you have a minute?"

　　"Of course. Let's get in and grab a coffee."

　　"Thanks." Sara had just taken a few steps with Zachary when he suddenly stopped and looked around as if he had remembered something.

　　"Sara, I almost forgot. There may be someone watching me. What about..."

　　"Mr. Joseph, I like coffee with sugar." Sara cut in with a smile and kept walking.

　　Zachary turned back to take another look before following Sara into the mall, looking worried.

　　Stepping into the coffee shop, Sara picked a seat by the window.

　　Zachary returned to his seat after ordering the coffee.

　　"Sara, I'm sorry for what happened last time."

　　"It's not your fault. So please stop apologizing to me while someone else should be doing so."

　　Zachary said helplessly, "She won't."

　　"Well, it's up to her. But you shouldn't apologize on behalf of her. You've broken up, and you have nothing to do with her anymore. Don't you think so?"

　　"But she has caused such a fuss and hurt you. It's all because of me."

　　"Have you ever hurt her?"

　　Zachary answered seriously, "Of course not."

　　Sara nodded and said, "Then you shouldn't apologize."

　　When the waiter served coffee, Zachary asked, "Sara, what brings you to me today?"

　　Sara lowered her eyes, and her face darkened.

　　Thinking about the purpose of coming there, she took a deep breath and then looked at Zachary.

　　"Mr. Joseph, be with me."

　　Zachary was stunned for a moment, and he asked at a loss, "What do you mean?"

　　"Will you be my boyfriend?"
